Yusmeiro Petit joins the most heartbreaking club

San Francisco Giants pitcher Yusmeiro Petit was just one out away from a perfect game Friday night at AT&T Park. Facing Arizona’s Eric Chavez with two outs in the top of the 9th inning, Petit allowed a line drive to right field that hopped off the grass just short of Hunter Pence.

Petit retired the next batter and picked up the win for the Giants, but his bid for a perfect game was lost. Petit became the 12th pitcher in MLB history, and second this season, to lose a perfect game with two outs in the 9th inning.
